Join our team of passionate dental and healthcare professionals as we head to San Raymundo, Guatemala, from April 3–10, 2027! Our mission is simple yet life-changing: to provide free, top-tier pediatric dental care to underserved children—held as close to the same standard of care they would receive in the U.S.—while sharing the love of Christ. From preventive hygiene clinics to advanced restorative and surgical procedures under general anesthesia, come be part of bringing lasting health, hope, and smiles to an incredible community.

Land in Guatemala around “noon-ish”. Try to gather luggage and get through customs to leave the airport by 2-3pm. Head to San Raymundo which takes 2-3 hours depending on traffic. Dinner at 6pm. Small group Bible study at 7pm. Trip Orientation 8-9ish.

Sleep in! Breakfast at 9am. Set up hygiene clinic and OR between 9:30-noon. Eat lunch between noon-1. Test run the hygiene clinic flow from 1-5 with small amount of cleanings. Dinner at 6. Small group Bible study from 7-8.

Breakfast starting at 6:30. Hygiene clinic runs 8-5 with lunch in the cafeteria from noon-1. Surgery runs 7-4 with lunch brought to the ORs to eat while in between cases. Dinner at 6. Bible study from 7-8.

Fun day! Be warned, it’s a long day! Breakfast at 6:30 and leave by 7 to travel to Antigua. Arrive around 9. We always take a team photo at Cerro da la Cruz (Hill of the Cross). As our group has gotten larger, we’ve learned that it’s more enjoyable to split up into smaller groups (no less than 3) and do our own activities throughout the day. There are several ATV tours of the surrounding towns, you can go get a massage at a local spa/hotel, shopping, leisurely lunch outdoors, etc. Dinner as a group is at Hotel Casa Santo Domingo from 6:00 until 7:30 or so then travel back to San Raymundo. We’ll be in bed around 10 or 11pm.

Option for non-students: You can stay in Antigua on Friday, but the following stipulations apply

1. You book your own hotel and travel and pay for it.

2. You understand that after we have finished eating our team dinner in San Raymundo that you are ending your involvement on the mission trip and that you are “on your own” regarding any hiccups or delays.

Breakfast at 6:30 then leave by 7 for flights starting around noon. International departures take 2-3 hours with big groups. Lunch is at the airport, then fly back home!
